Americans are taking stock a day after the Supreme Court overturned a woman’s constitutional right to abortion.
Quinonez vowed that the fight for abortion rights will continue: “This is not the end whatsoever. ... Tonight we mourn, we rage. Tomorrow we get to work.”
In Ohio, a ban on most abortions from the first detectable fetal heartbeat became law when a federal judge dissolved an injunction that had kept the measure on hold for nearly three years. Another law with narrow exceptions was was triggered by the ruling in Utah and went into effect. The ruling is likely to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states, and people on both sides of the issue predicted the fight would continue.
“My office has been and will continue to be a firewall against legislation that would reverse reproductive freedom,” he said. In roughly a half-dozen other states, including West Virginia and Wisconsin, the fight will be over dormant abortion bans that were enacted before Roe was decided in 1973 or new proposals to sharply limit when abortions can be performed.
